Again a stupid government spend tax euros on useless companies plan? No. Minister Bot (foreign affairs) could be joining a genuine VC (he is named as a potential partner in Gilde and Atlas) after his career as a minister. Reference is made to Colin Powell who recently joined Kleiner Perkins. Their international network and lobby capabilities are worth it for the VC's.

Guess it could be worse. Maybe if these kinds of people join the Dutch VC world, the government would take VC's and starting companies more serious.
